A little inspiration

What makes a great suit? I love a good cut, smooth fit and great fabric. Marilyn Monroe is wearing a sophisticated suit that shows off her figure and looks very chic. Then, there's this Lilli Ann suit, this is my idea of dressing at it's finest, I can do without the fur sleeves but the rest is a knockout suit for a special occasion. Inspiring?

About Me

I love the art of dressmaking and tailoring and am constantly looking for resources to learn new techniques while mastering old ones. My favorite book is Tailoring by Adele P. Margolis, it taught me about the concept of creating a garment which was necessary for me to learn before I could truly understand the "why" of it all. I enjoy making clothes, especially fitted jackets.
